Chapter 37: What About the Tree?
Carl was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.
A small rock hit Carl's head, and when Carl turned his head, he saw Avril's little head peeking out around the corner, and whispered to him, "What are you doing, come here!" ”
Avril took Carl around and back to the cabin.
It didn't take long for Angela to return.
It was not advisable to stay in the city for long, so they hurriedly packed their belongings and ran in the direction of the outside of the city.
They did not go through the gates, but went under a section of the wall.
The walls are 40 feet high, but they can't stop Angela.
[Temperature Control] is activated continuously, with one target making the ground hotter and the other target making the sky cold.
Suddenly, an updraft was generated.
The updraft is very windy, and although it does not blow people up, it saves a lot of effort.
As an old fritter, Carl naturally knew what Angela wanted to do, and walked to the city wall, crossed his fingers with both hands, and was ready.
He and his brothers used this method to climb over the wall, but at that time, they were faced with a wall that was less than 1/3 of the wall.
Angela flew up and landed one foot on the palms of Carl's hands, and Carl threw it upwards and Angela flew 8 feet.
Then he climbed the stone wall with his feet in the wind, and floated 14 feet.
Facing the remaining 18 feet, his hands clinged to the gaps between the stone bricks.
It's also thanks to Angela, who weighs no more than 100 pounds, but her strength is 1.6 times that of a normal adult man, and due to the average growth, the strength of her fingers has also increased by the same magnitude, so she can't bear her own weight.
With both hands and feet, he climbed the city wall, and at this time the updraft also stopped.
Angela lowered the rope she had prepared, and Avril climbed up with it.
Next up was Carl's heavyweight, and Angela took a deep breath and kicked hard against the edge of the wall.
Carl gave himself a low snort, and then pulled the rope, and Angela fell from it with a thud.
Avril was stunned, and so was Carl.
At this moment, Carl has a height of seven and a half feet, coupled with a very eager physique, with a weight of 350 pounds.
So, he dragged Angela down without surprise.
Fortunately, Angela was nimble, and after kicking on his head to make a cushion, and then landing on the ground and rolling, although it was a little embarrassing, it was not a big deal.
As for Carl, he has a strong body and is extremely resistant to suppression, and there is nothing wrong with him except for an extra footprint in his head.
Angela looked at Carl and was also dumbfounded, as she realized that she couldn't pull Carl up on her own.
However, the construction method of this city wall is easy to defend and difficult to attack when facing outward, and easy to attack and difficult to defend inward, so there is no wall battlement on the inward side.
The entire wall was 12 feet wide, plus 40 feet high, which meant that at least 52 feet of rope was needed to secure the other end of the rope to the battlements.
Angela, on the other hand, only brought a rope that was just 40 feet long, and if it was connected to the battlements, it would have to be tied at least 4 feet to tie the knot, which meant that Carl had to touch the end of the rope 16 feet high before he could climb it.
Carl, on the other hand, has a lot of strength, but is limited by his weight, so his jumping ability is not good (good for the average person, but not good for Angela and their class).
At only seven and a half feet tall, it was good to be able to jump to 14 feet, and the two feet were like a moat.
However, the neighborhood was empty, and it was very difficult to find a two-foot-high stepping stone.
But when Angela saw a tree with a crooked neck, she already had an idea.
The crooked-necked tree has a thick head, 15 feet tall, and has two large forks, one of which is tilted upwards and the other tilted sideways, just right for the person to hang.
After cutting off the branches and keeping the trunk, there were still ten feet, and the trunk was thick enough to bear Carl's weight.
As soon as she thought of it, Angela ran to the tree, drew her steel sword, and launched the armor piercing, accompanied by the sword light, and cut the tree neatly.
The tree fell, caught by Carl with both hands.
Carl gave a thumbs up, agreeing with Angela's idea.
Then, he grabbed the hilt of the sword that was stuck in his body and drew it, and began to cut the branches of the tree.
The lower part of the trunk was sharpened, and then he walked to the wall, and with all his strength downward, he plunged into the dirt and leaned on the wall.
Karl tossed one end of the rope with a stone on it, and Avril tethered the other end to the battlement.
Angela held on to the trunk of the tree, Carl flexibly climbed up like a monkey, grabbed the rope, even if he carried his luggage, he also climbed to the city wall with great ease, it can be seen that if it were not for the drag of his weight, Carl is really good at climbing the wall.
After a while, Angela also went up, and then the three of them followed the rope, slipped to the other end, and ran out of the city.
At this moment, it is dark night, and the river rises, submerging most of this small island in the middle of the river, and it is also thanks to the unique shape of the river bay city, the city wall is like a dam, and only the river beach in the city will be affected.
However, in this case, there are not many places to settle outside the city.
Thankfully, although Karl is seasick, he is not afraid of water, and although his body is heavy, he will sink as soon as he falls into the water.
But as a semi-vegetative person, he is not so dependent on air, and walking on the bottom of the river for a while has no effect on him.
Angela and Avril sat on Carl's broad shoulders and waded all the way to the docks, where they quietly took a small boat.
Angela and Avril switched mounts naturally, while Carl dragged the boat with a rope all the way to the other side of the river......
The next day, Dråm took the rope and hobbled to the crooked neck tree on the edge of the city.
He is 45 years old, he has lived on the river beach all his life and suffers from severe rheumatism, plus years of hard work has made him sicker, plus he has no money to see a doctor, everything adds up to make him age very quickly.
Now, even if he says he is 80 years old, some people believe it.
It's better to die early than to live like this.
At the very least, whether it is for your family or yourself, you can make it easier.
Although, suicide is a big sin.
With every step, his whole body felt like he was being pricked by needles, and it hurt to the bones.
I finally moved there, and I was dumbfounded.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and a cold wind blew, and the yellow leaves mixed with dust.
Delome shivered as he hugged his arms, and he had goosebumps all over his body because of the cold, wearing only a single shirt.
It was precisely because of this cold that he was a little more awake.
So, what about his tree?
mmp, which turtle son is so lacking in virtue that he even has to cut down the trees that people use to commit suicide, and he doesn't let people die.
Delome cowered in the cold wind for a while, and finally walked back dejectedly, and before he had gone far, he met a great man, the clerk of the city.
Our Scrivener's face was pale, and he trembled uncontrollably with an expensive white silk in his hand.
Because he was too hard, the back of his hand was bruised.
At first it was a sewer explosion, the collapse of the walls of the Pinnacle Tower, then the theft of the grocery store, and later, the prisoners escaped, the sheriff was killed, and the grocery store was burned.
This series of events caused panic among the people, and the nobles and merchants protested one after another, causing the lord to suffer heavy losses and forcing him into a desperate situation.
Now, going to the gallows is already doomed.
Therefore, it is better to simply die, and perhaps, the Earl will spare his family.
Originally, when encountering a big man like the clerk, Delum must have been on the side of the road with his neck bent and his head down, or passing quickly.
However, today, the ghost stopped and asked, "Suicide?" ”
The clerk nodded numbly, and Delholm gave a strange smile and stood on the side of the road, waiting to see the show.
Soon, he saw what he wanted to see, and he regained confidence in his future life.
He saw the helpless side of the big man, it turned out that the big man was also a human being!
The clerk stroked the smooth white silk, then raised his head, and then the whole person froze in place.
The yellow leaves fluttered in the cold wind, and in front of him, all he had was a stump.
Trees—what?
